jesus uploads videos in heaven :D

Lately ive been watching a lot of videos from the youtube channel called "SHAYTARDS". they have a video diary of the familys life, over 500 videos, one video every day. This Specific video is about Shays daughter telling her mom that she is afraid to die. its shays duty to tell his young daughter where people go after they die. the hard part is, he wants to get this moment on camera, raw and real and wants to say what he believes, but doesnt want to cause a delema with his youtube fans. i think Shay does an excellent job on telling his daughter and other 2 children where they do when they die. i adore this video, i hope you like it too.

Passion of the Christ = I HAVE A PASSION FOR JESUS CHRIST!

i experienced the movie "passion of the Christ" tonight at the youth group i attend. this is what happened....

I showed up not really knowing what to expect. ive heard lots of stories about this movie. comments like "its long and boring, its hard to understand" or "watch it, it will change your life".

i started watching it, some parts i didnt understand and had to ask questions at the end. i got so in dept with it, i felt like i was living in the movie. When Jesus was arrested i felt sorrow! when there were cute flashbacks, i felt the JOY!

i got so into it! i dont remember doing anything else. my eyes were fixed on that screen! i dont remember blinking, gosh i dont even remember breathing!

the part that was the hardest to watch was when Jesus' poor innocent hands were being nailed to the wood of the cross He had carried. i do remember my emotions in this scene. i remember tears streaming down my face, just watching. like i said, i felt like i was in the movie, i wanted to reach out and just hold Him, the Son of God.

i made it through the end of the movie. totally emotionless after that heartbreaking scene. i couldnt move my eyes, i felt like i was watching the the last few minutes of his painful life, and i guess i was.

at the end of the movie i thought i was fine, thought the movie was realistic, but had made no impact on me.

then it hit me, like a ton of bricks.

suddenly i felt an overwhelming feeling of SORROW! and HAPPINESS! and LOVE!

THAT MAN DIED FOR ME AND FOR YOU BECAUSE HE LOVED US!

plain and simple people!

i feel so sad that he had to go through all that pain for me. especially since im a wreck! i am nothing compared to what JESUS was! what JESUS is!

as i write this i cry, i am so overwhelmed with a mix of feelings i never thought i had.

i cant wait till i pass away, and i get to sit at the feet of the Man who died for my sin.

thats all that can come out.

everything else inside me is stuck, im so speechless, and in love with MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

love,

I pedged to stay pure until i marry the Man God has chosen for me....

SO many changes this weekend! it was so crazy!

i turned 15 on saturday July 24th. that was awesome!
the service on Sunday morning was great!
then on Sunday night i made a decision i will never regret. i made the decision to stay pure till i am married. i went to a purity celebration and received a purity ring from my daddy. it was amazing!

About a Purity Ring....

The spiritual purity ring is a promise ring in which the wearer makes a pledge to a higher power greater than themselves to stay pure. The higher power greater then myself is GOD!


I pledged to stay pure until I marry the Man God has chosen for me. I didn't get a purity ring to show off, I got one to keep myself accountable, and to save myself for the man I will marry someday. It's all for that man and GOD!


i posted a status about my purity ring on my facebook, and this morning i had 6 facebook messages from girls who want to accept Christ and become pure again, bcuz they have messed up. this was inspirational, opened my eyes to see that i am a role model to girls all around me, even girls older than me.
this was very challenging to hear tho. HOW COULD I HELP THESE GIRLS?!?! what was i supposed to say to them!?

i replied and said....
"Here's what we are going to do, I want u to wait for a purity ring. I want u to learn Gods word b4 u make a decision for Him. Would u like a bible? U can accept Jesus Christ as ur savior, once u get to know him. I don't want u to make a decision to stay pure for a God u don't know about. Does this make any since? I want to help u through this ya know? So here's what I'm doing to do, I'll send u some scriptures, to help you out. Scriptures about purity, love, friendships, anything!"


like i said this was challenging! all they wanted to do was get a ring and declare purity! i had to explain the spiritual part of a purity ring. the meaning of becoming "pure" in Gods eyes, and Glorify Him in the process.

it will be challenging, but im so stoked to make a difference in these girls' lives!

"I am the Christ..."

"Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” – Matthew 24:4-5

Taught during the last week of His life, Jesus was giving His followers some strong boundaries so that they would not fall away after He was gone. Here he talks of people who say that they are the Christ (“anointed one”). Notice the word that Jesus uses – deceive. To be deceived is to not know the difference between the truth and a falsehood – they both look the same. In a time when many are saying, “I am God’s anointed now.”, Jesus explicitly tells us that God’s anointed One is found in only one place – Jesus the Christ. Jesus is God’s final statement to humanity.

5 days left...

Greed Grips Our Hearts....

"Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” – Luke 12:15

In these verses, Jesus is addressing two brothers fighting over their inheritance. He gives them a strong warning about thinking that their possessions can give their life worth and ultimate value.

Greed grips our hearts when we place material things (or anything) in the place of God and his ultimate approval and blessings in our life. We have been given the very best God has to offer in the form of his Son!

So think about it. Are you being Greedy about material things, or anything in general? Is it getting in the way of your relationship with God? if so STOP IT! Make a change for your God and glorify God the right way.

We are in Constant need of Forgiveness

Do you think your perfect? do you think you live without sin? well thats impossible unless you were Jesus.

"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." – 1 John 1:8-9

In all reality, sin is a reminder that we need a Savior! No matter how long one has walked with Christ, we are in constant need of forgiveness.
Righteousness - the confession of sin; holiness; purity; uprightness; rectitude.
~As we look to Christ, his righteousness truly cleanses us. To live IN Christ is the wisdom of God to keep us in relationship and to guard us from pride~

very cute song

love+my best friend

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.
No I can't say I am in love, because I am so young. But I have a small taste of what it is, and I can't wait to taste more
love,
kimmyann <3

Way Back When....

Do you remember when you were this small? most teenagers say that life was so much simpler when we were little children. i would have to agree, when i am feeling selfish and ungrateful. i only think about the disadventages of growing up, getting more responsibilities, dealing with emotional and physical changes. think about how you can now get on that awesome scary ride at the amusement park that you were too small to get on it years earlier. or how you get to drive your parents car when way back when you could barly even see over the steering wheel, and you thought you would NEVER get to drive!
God blesses us with more than just size as we grow older. We become more mature, we learn to love, and we open our eyes more and see Gods grace all around us. when i realize all i have now that i am older, i am very grateful. :D
love,
kimmyann

Just a reminder

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD."
Psalm 25:4-7

Music IS in my soul!

this is my favorite song right now. i listen to it and my deep-blue eyes fill with tears. its such a powerful song! listen...its awesome.
